Sean has been doing so much better. From Thursday night to Friday night, he had only ONE Brady/DSAT. And the reason for the one was because the RN fed him with too big of a nipple and the milk came out too fast and Sean choked a little. Sean can only handle the "slow flow" nipple. He can not keep up with anything faster.
Sean is being fed 52 cc's of milk + 24 calories of formula (to help him put on weight) every 3 hours. Today Sean weighs a whapping 6 lbs. 8.8oz! It's amazing to watch him grow into a regular size baby. The RNs & Docs at the hospital have done a great job of taking care of Sean. We are incredibly grateful!
Correction from the prior posting: Sean is still in newborn diapers. Wishful thinking on Mommy's part that he actually out grew them already. He outgrew the Preemie diapers. The #1 diapers are actually the newborn diapers. These are the biggest diapers they have in the NICU.
Sean smiles and loves being held. He is a mellow baby. His personality is already developing. We love our baby boy!
Thank you for your continued prayers.
Sean's Mommy & Daddy
